Presentations

Managing your Applications with SpringSource AMS

Is your application feeling neglected? Once you deployed it into production, did you drift apart? Perhaps you abandoned your deployed application for some hot new project? Come to this session to learn how to use the SpringSource Application Management Suite (AMS) to reconnect with your Spring-powered application in both development and production environments. We will explore how AMS uses AOP and JMX to provide automatic discovery, monitoring and runtime control of a variety of Spring components. Attendees will learn how to use the AMS API to easily build manageability into their own application components. Attend this session and learn how to break down those communication barriers and gain new insight into your application.

Topic Detail

Managing Spring Applications in the Cloud

This session shows a practical application of cloud computing using multiple new SpringSource products. It demonstrates a set of actual applications, including SpringSource dm Server and AMS, working together in multiple virtual nodes.

The buzz around virtualization makes it difficult to find the real value in all the shiny new fluff. There are some real values to be found in virtualization, even for pragmatic developers. This session will demonstrate a practical usage of cloud computing with Amazon Web Services and discuss some of the existing tools for application management and provisioning in the cloud.
